This study analyzes a poem by the Twelver Shiʿi jurist Ḥusayn b. ʿAbd al-Ṣamad al-ʿĀmilī (d. 984/1576) that has recently been discovered in a multiple-text manuscript in Iran. It is argued here that the poem dates from 961-63/1554-56 and expresses the author's disappointment and frustrations with patrons or intermediaries in his efforts to procure a position shortly after he arrived in Safavid territory
